I read in one of the entertainment magazines (maybe Entertainment Weekly) that Josh is doing a Series 9 of the Buffy comic and he is changing the formula and making it simple and back to basics like the early seasons. It was only a real short article and this is what I took out of it. If anyone knows anything more about the Series 9, please let me know because the early season are my favorite. What I know for sure is that it isn't out yet because I already checked Powerstar.

Not sure if they've announced an official date but they seem to be thinking somewhere around July or August.

There will be both a Buffy series and an Angel series as part of S9 and also a couple of related arcs focusing on other characters. Which specific characters have arcs of their own has not been officially announced.
